Dear SEC:
As a new investor, let me thank you for addressing this issue, especially in
light of recent, well-known events. While I am all for corporate freedom as
private entities, I am also aware of the immense power that corporate boards
hold and the need for government oversight and regulation.
Shareholders need to have real and informed access and choice in the election
of boards of directors. Many of us, myself included, have our financial futures
riding on our investments and therefore have a vital interest in how the companies
we have invested in are managed. I am not knowlegable enough in the intricacies
of proxies and board elections so I appreciate the SEC reviewing proxy rules to
see how shareholders may be better protected.
Thank You
Robert J. Noble
